I'm really curious what these channels ratings are these days. I see many that have responded say they watch a series here or there but these channels target audience is mostly children and teens. I truly wonder how many kids/teens are watching these days. I know a lot of people with young children and none of them watch regular TV. It's all streaming and more importantly as the kids get older, they are almost never watching content produced by legacy studios. It's all independent content creators on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram.

That's exactly my thought too. None of my friends who have young families even subscribe to linear TV. Only ones that do is because they are roped in via a deal for 2 years. Majority of them either just use a couple streaming services, or put on YouTube for their young'ins. Not 100% sure why the change now, either it should have been called Cartoon Network from the start in 1997, or like I said, changed names in 2012.

They most likely do the change now because Teletoon isn't producing any originals anymore.

It's awesome that Boomerang will have The Raccoons to the schedule, glad they added some childhood memories, hope they add more in the future, I'm already watching The Raccoons on Crave, but it's nice to have it on TV for others to watch. :)
